How does this function work?
https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/f093b770e61254673d9e8e2d99678548b9142508/libraries/stdlib/src/kotlin/util/Suspend.kt#L10

I can just run suspend { .... } in any code now, without being in a suspending context. How does this work?

[bezrukov]

No, the code inside won't run. It is just a way to create a lambda similar to how non-suspending one is created:

{ println("hello world" } // nothing will be printed, unless you call .invoke() on it

[Arjan van Wieringen]

Ah of course, it is a suspending lambda factory. Makes sense.
